Lethal Bizzle biography
'''
'''Lethal Bizzle''', also known as '''Lethal B''' (born '''Maxwell Ansah''', 14 September 1984 in Walthamstow, London, England), is a Ghanaian British rapper. His songs are known to satirise modern gangsta rap; much of the humour comes from the adoption of hip-hop style and language. In December 2004, he released the single "Pow (Forward)", also known as "Forward Riddim" which was banned from airplay by some mainstream radio stations. It entered the UK Singles Chart at number 11 in its first week on the chart in 2005,
